Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by a progressive damage in different organs. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices are recommended for optimal disease management, reducing the duration and number of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic episodes.

CGM dices are useful tools used for management of DM, especially in the pediatric population and those under insulin regimen therapy, allowing a personalized and more adherent approach by not performing repetitive finger pricking. Nonetheless, patient’s education regarding adequate use of these devices is crucial to avoid frequent mistakes that may impact on the glucose trace levels, such as those that we discuss further in the report.

We present the following case report of a pediatric patient with diagnosis of type 1 DM, who was followed in an outpatient pediatric endocrinology clinic using CGM devices.
